Quick Q - I haven't been on for a few weeks. Last time I was, it was just after the character reset and the named servers. I was in Thyrone (or whatever it's called) in the VS outfit, but I have no idea what the current situation is. What will I need to do before joining in tonight?

Can anyone say, precisely, how you invite someone to an Outfit? When the NC RTS Outfit was remade after the last wipe, I was invited to the newly formed Outfit, at the 2nd Highest Rank. I was able to Invite people with little difficulty (as long as they were on the Server at the time when I sent the Invite out). Now though, there's no option to send Invites to new members at all... or I can't see it. It's not on the main Outfit page, or the extended Members page. Got a bunch of people that are needing/wanting in to the Outfit (it's much, much easier to arrange squads/platoons when you have everyone in the same Outfit) and I keep disappointing them, and not being able to tell them what's going on.

So how, exactly, do you send out invites these days? On which page in the Social section is the box that you type their name into and press "Send Invite"?

First you need permission. Unfortunately the permission changes aren't saving, so only Leaders can invite.
I'm a leader so I can invite, but sadly there is a bug involved that prevents my invites from being sent. Essentially the game thinks I'm not in an outfit and every invite is treated like the initial invite used to form an outfit.

As such at the present moment only Cooper can invite people into the outfit to the best of my knowledge. Short of reforming the outfit with all attendant disruptions that will cause, I'm not sure what to suggest.

Edit: And, it's not just that someone in RTS has, perhaps, changed the permissions and not let others know, or a patch has done it and I didn't read that note... but even Leaders invites are bugged somewhat. Some outfits can't send invites at all. It's just a bit irritating because I said I'd invite a load of people, get them on the server at the same time, then have to turn round to them and say "sheee-it! I dunno what's going on". Doesn't look too organised for the Outfit.

Aw shit. Thought something was up. I asked a couple of pages back if anyone had had any luck sending outfit invites, guess not...

I'm on every other day and send out invites to anyone who's friended me and not in the outfit. So the easiest route, for now, would be to send me a friend invite. The "they must be online" requirement is a pain in the arse though.

I'll set everyone to leader tomorrow. I did this last time and invites seemed to be working ok.

If someone tries sending invites for the VS outfit again, give me a heads up as to whether it's working again, cheers.

Good impromptu Vanu fight earlier guys. We pushed really hard, worked really well, got lots of juicy points. Being a squad leader isn't quite as stressful as I thought it would be, but it is certainly hard work! Anyhow, I took a couple of pics from the session. The first I thought was really cool, whilst the second shows off the game's not-quite-fixed physics/collision detection.
